The Colony of Tricharlesia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.061 billion Tricharlesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.3%.

The all-consuming Tricharlesian economy, worth 89.4 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,279 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,223 per year while the poor average 16,678, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tricharlesia's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tricharlesia is ranked 141,273^rd in the world and 190^th in Charleslandia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,730.68 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
